    i don't think the rates will have a huge impact on smokers, they will continue smoking but the ratio may decrease

    The existing smokers are not likely to give up. If new smokers are not added, this will be achievement.

    I feel that if smoking is definitely injurious, factories should be closed instead of raising tax.

    Older smokers are likely to damage their grey matter and lose cognitive functions at a greater rate than non-smokers.

    Actually smokers particularly habitual ones do not enjoy smoke. They are enslaved to smoke. They feel uneasy without smoke. They are in a pitiable condition.
